Choose your custom installation

SiriusXM Commander Touch

Mount the Commander Touch anywhere, or go for a custom installation like this one.

With a full-color touchscreen and an impressive list of available features, the Commander Touch is a great way to add the wonders of satellite radio to your daily drive.

The Commander Touch connects to any receiver with an AUX input or an FM antenna connection. The tuner installs out of sight, and the touchscreen controller mounts just about anywhere – you can attach it to the dash or a vent clip using double-sided tape or an aftermarket mount (sold separately). But if you want a more permanent "built-in" look, you use the included flush mount for a smooth, custom installation (professional installation recommended).

Plenty of programming

Wherever you mount the Commander Touch, you'll be able to get more enjoyment than ever from your SiriusXM subscription. The full-color display gives you a brilliant view of album art, artist name, song title, channel logos and program information, and you can use the touchscreen to choose from the vast array of music, news, entertainment, and sports available on SiriusXM.

You'll have an impressive array of features to enhance your experience, too. With the Commander Touch, you can pause, rewind and replay live satellite radio programming from the screen, so you'll never miss a thing. Start songs from the beginning with TuneStart™, or use TuneMix™ to hear a mix of songs from your favorite channels. And every driver will appreciate helpful updates from the Traffic & Weather Now™ feature. Depending on your subscription package, you can also access SiriusXM Xtra Channels for even more great programming.

Note: The Commander Touch can be updated using a USB flash drive (sold separately) to add new features and capabilities as they become available.

Installation Note: Please identify your vehicle if you plan on using the included FM modulator to connect the Commander Touch to your car's radio.

  • Mounting the Tuner Module: The SiriusXM tuner module should be installed and secured behind the dash or center console using wire-ties (not included). Keep in mind that you will need to route several cables to the tuner module from the LCD touchscreen controller, your factory radio, and antenna, so allow enough clearance for the cable connections.

My car has a usb a and a usb c and no aux jack. I don't want to tap into the fm antenna. Is there something that I get that will take the aux plug from the commands kit and converter it to a usb a or usb c?

Yes, there are adapters made for exactly that purpose. Crutchfield won't let me direct you to other stores, but search on internet for "audio plug to USB adapter" and you;ll find plenty.

Yes their are auxiliary adapter cables sold separately of course, check Google for USB to auxiliary plugs, if that's your question. Maybe I'm not understanding correctly. I found USB to type C & more!

Hi! Will this Sirius Radio work in a 2018 Acura ILX Base model? The car has an AUX port.

If you have an AUX port it will work. BUT, you will need it professionally installed unless you're willing to do a lot of custom wiring and cable routing.

Not sure. Contact Acura Factory customer service to see what the aux port will accept.

Q
Do I need to use the antenna if using the aux cable?
jason  Sep 10, 2019
2 answers
A
Yes. The Sirius/XM Radio Antenna is proprietary to receiving their content. It's extremely fragile as I've been through 2 antennae trying to stealth the wire in my BMW X-3. I cannot see of any other way to receive non-terrestrial radio w/o the proprietary antenna attached to the breakout box. There us also an option of looping in FM terrestrial radio but not receiving on a Frequency Modulated band or an Amplitude band FM/AM from space. Hope this helps.

Sorry, can't help. I installed this rec in 2006 Jag Mod S into existing radio w/Nav. But spoke with Crutchfiled before I bought. They send rec and adp cord to plug into radio. It all worked fine directly thru channel on radio. Only problem, as it connects thru antenna plugs, AM radio all static. But it's ok. Suggest call Crutchfield, they were very helpful setting up.
larry  Nov 10, 2018

I am not using th FM adapter and the quality is very good.
bill  Nov 10, 2018

Hi there. Antenna adapters for your specific vehicle should be able to be purchased to accommodate the FM direct adapter. You will buy an adapter to go from the fm direct module to your factory head unit if necessary. Here is the link to Crutchfield's products with these types of adapters. Have a look and call Crutchfield to help you make sure you buy the right one. It will definitely give you mutch better sound. There are other options for wiring directly to factory stereos that can give you even better sound depending on the factory stereo. Ask the advisor about your best sound option. They'll hook you up. Hope this helps. Jeremy https://www.crutchfield.com/g_119400/Car-Antennas-and-Adapters.html?o=f

Is the SiriusXM Commander Touch sense touch with motorcycle gloves?
franz  Jul 02, 2018
1 answer
A
While it may be a couch screen, the controls are fine enough to change channels and edit settings, Tbickee finger and or gloves are difficult due to the slow response and lack of feedback from t system with changes. This produces unintended channel selection or non-response too often for my liking.

You will want to contact an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat to discuss compatibility with your factory system. They will be able to pull up your vehicle and see if this will integrate. If it does not, then they will also be able to discuss other options with you.

Can this receiver be used with any home kits and also switched between vehicles?
nadnerbs  Oct 26, 2016

No. This model specifically is designed as a more subtle installation where you only see the control panel so, it does not mount into a "dock" and cannot be removed like the other "Dock and Play" models. I hope that helps. My Bio: http://www.crutchfield.com/Support/Bio.aspx?bio=5

Could I connect the three power inputs together and wire it to a 12 volt lighter socket plug for quicker movement from one vehicle to another? I like the features of this unit but want portability.
mike  Jul 14, 2016
1 answer
A
You could, yes. But, there would be more compact SXM units for doing that. This one has a LONG wire from the control head to the "something else" box. The real issue with portability is all the wire, in my opinion. But, yes, on paper, what you want to do will work.

alex  Jan 10, 2016

A
Per the research we have on file for your '15 Civic SE you can use the FM Direct connection on the SiriusXM Commander Touch, but you would need this antenna adapter to connect the factory antenna into the FM Direct connector: http://www.crutchfield.com/app/product/item/default.aspx?I=12040HD11 And then you'd need this adapter to go from the FM Direct connection back to the factory radio in your Civic: http://www.crutchfield.com/app/product/item/default.aspx?I=12040HD21 My Bio: http://www.crutchfield.com/Support/Bio.aspx?bio=159
